World War II Memorial
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Visit at sunset or just after dark when the pillars' interior lighting creates a dramatic, reflective atmosphere around the pool. Weekday mornings around 9 AM offer the quietest experience with the softest light for photographs.
Eelarvenõuanded
The memorial is free and open to the public 24 hours a day, with park rangers on site daily until 11 PM. Parking garages nearby run $15-25, but the Metro's Smithsonian stop puts you a short walk away for a fraction of the cost.
Soovitatav
History enthusiasts, Military veterans and families, Photography lovers, Students of American history

Teave
Kiired faktid: Mälestusmärk austab 16 miljonit ameeriklast, kes teenisid relvajõududes Teise maailmasõja ajal, sealhulgas üle 400 000, kes andsid oma elu. Keskel asub Vabaduse sein, mis sisaldab 4048 kuldset tähte, millest igaüks esindab 100 sõjas hukkunud Ameerika sõjaväelast.
Esiletõstmised: Mälestusmärgi kujundus loob teadlikult peegeldusbasseini, mis peegeldab taevast, lastes külastajatel tunda, nagu seisaksid nad sõja-aastate elava ajajoone sees. Öösel on 56 graniitsammast, mis ääristavad platsi, seestpoolt valgustatud, heites sooja merevaigukollast kuma, mis muudab kogu ruumi vabaõhukatedraaliks valgusest ja mälestustest.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Face west at the Freedom Wall around 10 AM on a clear day for the best photo: gold stars gleam against the Washington Monument rising behind them.
- Skip the crowds by visiting the pavilion at the south end first, then work your way north most visitors start at the main entrance.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes the polished granite plaza extends across almost seven acres, and you'll want to walk the full perimeter.
- Bring a small notebook to do a pencil rubbing of a state pillar each one has unique bas-relief scenes representing that state's contributions.
